As promised Jay, previous post removed.
As you have previously stated, one should not get a "tone" from printed word, but some seem to have the knack to do just that. I, for one, will do my best to keep it down.
In these days of uncertainty, we need all the help we can get, and this forum is just one of the solutions.
As for ADP, your analogy is somewhat correct, but keep in mind that even Microsoft, which we all know is on every PC, still has lines of code from the Windows 3.0 days. Not everything can be changed at once, and sometimes shouldn't be. Look at ReyRey and see what happened to them - they put all of their eggs in a new software platform and lost because it didn't work and are now part of UCS because of it. Now their software hasn't changed in years either. I'm sure ADP does not want to make the same mistake.
If we look at the automotive business, most of the basic parts are still the same "design" as when they were invented yet they have not perfected ball joints, u-joints, steering parts, etc, yet we replace everyday and make a profit from poor design and manufacturing. The IT tech is the DMS's "mechanic", same as we have ours - for their profit.
